I would appreciate help in understanding the following conjugation.  
It is difficult to comprehend the English translation for this.

[code]

    こんなことになっちゃんんじゃないの
    
[/code]

Difficult conjugation


Assuming that the んん is a dialect form or mistranscription of うん:

  * こんな: this kind of
  * こと: abstract thing → fact, happenstance, situation, etc.
  * に: `[particle]`, here indicating the result of the following verb:
  * なっちゃう → contraction of なって + しまう: to become, in an unfortunate way
  * ん → contraction of の: `[particle]`, used here to nominalize the preceding phrase
  * じゃ → contraction of で + は: `[particle]`
  * ない: not
  * の: `[particle]`, used here as a sentence-ending mood indicator: soft emphasis

In general, the cluster のではない → んじゃない expresses that the speaker thinks the
part before this shouldn't happen, or shouldn't be done.

In this specific case, and without more context, the whole thing comes across
to me as, _"It shouldn't turn out like this."_
